From what I can find on the mailing lists, SRM doesn't use the BIOS so
it shouldn't be an issue.

This post by Jay is confusing me:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/axp-list/2004-October/msg00108.html
Jay seems to say that support for the 39160 controller was added for
EV6 machines. Yet earlier the thread starts with some one who has an
XP1000, and can't boot from a 39160 controller yet Jay's XP1000 might.
Hmmmm,
